Face aux changements climatiques, l’agriculture a un rôle crucial à jouer. En amont des négociations à venir, dans le cadre de la 21e conférence climat (Cop 21 – Paris Climat 2015), le Cirad a activement contribué, avec l’Inra, à une conférence franco-chinoise sur l’agroécologie. Principales voies de coopération retenues : le stockage de carbone dans le sol pour l’atténuation des émissions de gaz à effet de serre, la valorisation des ressources génétiques pour l’adaptation à la sécheresse. Des pratiques de recherche communes en France et en Chine, spécifiques à l’agroécologie, ont également émergé des débats : l’intégration des savoirs locaux dans les dynamiques d’innovation et la nécessité de la modélisation.

However, it is necessary to determine the conditions in which production could be both optimum and compatible with high sugar yields. A team from CIRAD, working with the eRcane firm, embarked upon a complex, novel study of the entire production chain, from plot to mill, to determine the impact of production factors on biomass yield and quality, and on aerial biomass distribution between food and energy production.

In the hope of controlling leaf miners, a team from CIRAD has conducted research into the genetic modification of coffee trees using Bacillus thuringiensis genes that code for insecticidal endotoxins. On testing the modified trees in the field, the researchers found that the most vigporous plants were also those with the lowest levels of endotoxins. This was completely unexpected, and was probably due to the promoter used, which proves the importance of conducting field trials in this type of study.
